Show Open:

• Pentagon Briefing (latest on intel leak and battle damage assessment)
• CNN and Natasha Bertrand are deep state operatives!

Segment Topic:

• President Trump green-lighted the bombing of Iran nuclear facilities and now Democrats want to talk about war-powers.  Where were they when Obama was authorizing thousands of missile attacks and the targeting of American citizens on foreign soil?  
• If Anthony Bernal refuses to testify on the Auto-Pen issue, what are the chances that he will face the same penalties as Steven Bannon and Peter Navarro?
• How should the Trump Administration handle the Iranian illegals who were rounded up by ICE this week?
• The Supreme Court decision permitting the Administration from sending illegals to third party countries - what are your thoughts.
• The coming police state: (Judge Andrew Napolitano)
  • A foreign entity attacks American persons or property and the government warns that its sleeper cells have infiltrated the United States and it is somehow necessary to expand the powers of the government and shrink protections for civil liberties -- and this shrinkage will somehow keep us all safe. (The Patriot Act)
    • The premise of this deeply flawed argument is that less liberty produces more safety.
    • That premise is historically and morally erroneous. Even if we had cops watching us on every street corner or FBI agents virtually in every home, who will keep us safe from them?
    • And who would want to live, who could be private and free, in such an environment?
    • Didn’t we become a police state during COVID lockdowns; (traffic stops – no probable cause)?
